Origanum syriacum commonly known as Syrian oregano or za’atar, is a perennial herb belonging to the Lamiaceae family.
It is indigenous to the Eastern Mediterranean/Middle Eastern regions and is particularly adapted to arid, dry conditions.
The leaves are small, ovate to lanceolate, and have a gray-green color. They are highly aromatic due to the presence of essential oils.
Make sure to keep their soil well-drained – soggy soil is their Achilles heel.
The Tale:
One of the most famous uses of Origanum syriacum is in the preparation of za’atar, a traditional Middle Eastern spice blend. Za’atar typically includes dried oregano (or sometimes thyme), sesame seeds, sumac, and salt.
It is commonly sprinkled on flatbreads, mixed with olive oil as a dip, or used to season meats and vegetables – anywhere really, it will make everything better I promise.
In traditional medicine, Origanum syriacum has been used for its purported therapeutic properties. It is believed to have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects.

Syrian oregano, Wild Middle-Eastern Oregano
